When my beginnings I miss

Seeds of Anxiety / a garden they Sow

“The empty space is the great horror and stimulant of creation. But there is also something predictable in the way the fear and apathy encountered at the beginning are accountable for feelings of elation at the end. These intensities of the creative process can stimulate desires of consistency and control, but history affirms that few transformative experiences are generated by regularity.”

“Whether in painting, poetry, performance, music, dance, or life, there is an intelligence working in every situation. This force is the primary carrier of creation.
If we trust it and follow its natural movement, it will astound us with its ability to find a way through problems—and even make creative use of our mistakes and failures.
There is a magic to this process that cannot be controlled by the ego. Somehow it always finds the way to the place where you need to be, and a destination you never could have known in advance.
When everything seems as if it is hopeless and going nowhere … trust the process.”

“Our self is not the ego.The ego is only an operational, temporary identity of the self.
In attempting to weigh our being more heavily toward the quantum modality, we recognize that we cannot force quantum jumps via any conditioned maneuver. So we systematically attack conditioning.”
